Hi, going to send you a PM

Fair point, from my perspective and my other sport these things can be solved, maybe it's just me looking for a logical solution to everything. In Ice hockey Wayne Gretzky is the greatest player of all time, that is not in question. We get to that stage by using the number of goals scored plus assists to create a league table, Gretzky has more assists alone than the next points scorer. Arguements around that created the +/- scale, you get a + point every time you are on ice when a goal is scored and a minus every time a goal is scored against you, even taking this into account he was miles ahead. My logical mind says there has to be a way to figure it out, wish someone would hurry up and invent it!!

I get quite irritated when every one starts talking about who's the best ever because we fundamentally can't come up with a formula to show who is the best ever. This topic raises it head on here every few months and I guess we have the same answers and ideas every few months..... My personal viewpoint is that he IS the greatest trials rider we have ever seen not just because of the number of GP wins, titles, longevity but the impact he had on the trials world. When Doug won his first couple of titles he raised the bar so much higher than any one could compete with. It took seven seasons for someone (Fuji) to play catch up. Jordi never managed his seven on the trot (3 - Ahvala - 3 - Colomer - 1 - Doug.......), Bou has taken it another step but I don't think we'll have seven years to wait before some young hotshot does the same to Bou, brilliant as he is. Jordi was the best of his time, as was Doug, as was Eddie Lejeune, as was Sammy Miller, as was Vesty as was etc etc etc BUT true greatness comes from something more, I really don't think anyone else SO FAR has come close to Doug. 100 Yep I think it'll happen; 8, I don't see it much as I'd love to. Notwithstanding what I've said, he's still not my favourite ever rider.......That'd be his old man

very poetic Gav....offshore again?? Donald

Certainly won't be "Big Spender"

Any discount for TC members.......... You could be offering guided trials tours in your back door kiddo

No way you could do that in May in the Fort unless you can write some catchy new Lyrics

Rock Star Hair

Should invite Kinell...see what he missed the first time

You'd all complain of a drought if it didn't rain......never mind plenty more to come overnight and into tomorrow...
